U11-U09
No Play off and no results are published on the webb or elsewhere.
Loan of players
A player might be loaned from another team in the same club and class in order to register more teams instead of having a lot of substitutes. Loan is allowed so the team has up to two substitutes in each match and a maximum of two players might be loaned each match. The loaned players should be altered each match.
Note! We strongly request the leaders to respect this rule and thus not loan the same players each match and limit the loans to max 2 players.
Prizes
All players are awarded a medal.
